Racial tensions were on Donald Trump's mind on Wednesday, as he painted an apocalyptic picture of civil unrest in the U.S. at a rally here. But first, he hurled an incendiary accusation at his presumptive opponent in the general election, Hillary Clinton. "And we created ISIS," Trump said to a crowd of thousands. "And Hillary Clinton through her incompetence, directly and indirectly, created ISIS. And now she wants to get rid of it."
Then came a detour:
"She is the one that created it. And that's what's happened and so now we have problems all over the place. We have our cities exploded. We have ISIS looking at us," Trump said. "And by the way, when our enemies all over the world, including our friends all over the world, look at what's happening to our country - where the other night, you had 11 - think of it - 11 cities potentially in a blow-up stage. Marches all over the United States. And tough marches. Anger, hatred, hatred - started by a maniac that some people asked for a moment of silence for him. For the killer. For the killer."
This was one of three times that Trump said on Wednesday that some had asked for a moment of silence for Micah Johnson, the gunman who shot and killed five police officers in Dallas last week. There is no evidence that this happened, and the Trump campaign did not respond to a request for clarification. He also mentioned the moment of silence during an appearance on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor."
"When somebody called for a moment of silence for this maniac that shot the five police, and you know, you just see what's going on," Trump said to Fox anchor Bill O'Reilly. "And it's a very, very sad situation."
